Excellent chest! Absolutely beautiful. I like the design and finish. Did you use black hardware – if so, my I ask where you got your hardware. I am looking for black piano hinge and lid supports. Agai, great looking chest!

What did you use for the cedar? From the picture it almost looks like it is on the back side of the oak plywood inserts.

I didn’t use black hardware. I used an antique brass hinge and it isn’t a piano hinge it is two non-mortising hinges from Woodcraft.

Nice work! We have seen quite a few chests recently – yours is right up there with the best.

The cedar is from a kit intended for a closet. It is tongue and grooved and I just had to cut it to fit.

Thank you all for the nice comments.

Nice! Could you post bigger pictures of this? 640x?

Just popped up on the shuffle and I like it as well the second time as the first!

Thanks David, I haven’t had much time in the shop lately. Like you I had some siding work that needed attention before the Northwest rain hits.
